Everything Has Changed

They were fighting for their civil rights

We were raising hell on motorbikes

Then someone shouted anarchy

We all got up to dance

We answered revolutions call

Drove the politicians up the wall

But I guess we knew that it would end

When we outgrew the cause

Everything has changed, nothing stays the same

The fashion thing was all the rage

With bristles studs and razor blades

Our parents thought that we were mad

We'd totally lost control

It was anti this and anti that

But still they fed us all that crap

About God, the Queen, the flag

It was still worth dying for

Everything has changed, nothing stays the same

Now we stand for king and queen

And all of life's desires

Two kids, a wife, surburbia and an XR3 on hire

Now we sing 'God save the queen'

With a lot more of tradition

We gladly stand and fall in line

And forget the things we'd written

The spirit I can still recall

When I heard it in the record store

The songs that broke the barriers down

And gave us back our youth

Freedom was our battle cry

We swore we'd live or else we'd die

And change the world a little bit

While we still had the time

Everything has changed, nothing stays the same

Every generation comes of age

And settles for the same old ways

The rebel song is handed down to

New champions of the cause

But we always will remember when

Those magic days of us and them

Before we all grew up and moved away

Everything has changed, nothing stays the same

Now we stand for king and queen

And all of life's desires

Two kids, a wife, surburbia and an XR3 on hire

Now we sing 'God save the queen'

With a lot more of tradition

We gladly stand and fall in line

And forget the things we'd written

-Solo-

Everything has changed, nothing stays the same

Now we stand for king and queen

And all of life's desires

Two kids, a wife, surburbia and an XR3 on hire

Now we sing 'God save the queen'

With a lot more of tradition

We gladly stand and fall in line

And forget, forget
